Enthusiastic Review of th 2007 Infiniti FX35!!

The 2007 Infiniti FX35 has a split personality. It handles like a sport sedan, yet it is a full-fledged SUV. Its a good thing!The 2007 Infiniti FX35 received a makeover last year that re-tuned the suspension for a smoother ride and added a bunch of standard features. Dont worry, the sport sedan side of its personality is still dominant.

Make no mistake; the 2007 Infiniti FX35 will never be mistaken for an ordinary SUV. Its arched roofline, high beltline, big wheels, and low-profile performance tires announce its sporting intent. With its all-independent suspension, a near-ideal 52-48 front-to-rear weight distribution, and a strong engine, the FX35 is a formidable road machine.

The 2007 Infiniti FX35 is in its element on the road. It handles more like a sport sedan than an SUV with minimal body roll, quick steering response and a confidence achieved by few other sports-oriented SUVs.

The 2007 Infiniti FX35 proves the S in Sport Utility Vehicle has meaning. If you really want a sports sedan, but better come home in an SUV, the Infiniti FX35 is your stealthy choice.

The FX (and Murano) started the Crossover craze IMO. The FX is almost 5 years old, but it hasn't aged at all. They still look hot, and they still hold their own in the perfomance department. I can't wait to see the new one.

It was the Toyota Rav 4, followed by the CR-V, that started the crossover craze.

Sorry Unicron, but its was neither the Cr-v nor the Rav4 that started the craze. They were probably the first ones in the market, but the craze was catapulted buy larger vehicles, such as the Murano, which was one of the first mid size to come out if I'm correct. They were just too small and frugal for Americans with their small dimensions and engines. So, no they did not start the craze.

Actually you are correct Asimo. I totally forgot about the Rx. That was the car that started the crossover craze. I remember when it first came out that there were shortages and a long list for that *** car.

The BMW X5, Lexus RX and Acura MDX were out first, but it wasn't until the Murano hit the market when other automakers finally stopped and realized that a sport utility vehicle didn't have to be truck-based. They realized that u could have the best of both worlds in one vehicle.

The X5 and RX both came out in 1998 (?), but after that there weren't any other CUVs until the MDX debuted, which was in 2001. And if there were, none of them were successful or impressive. After the MDX, it was quiet for a while.

Then along came the Nissan Murano and the Infiniti FX in 2003. Both were well received by the media. All the sudden, every company was bringing out their own X-overs like the Cadillac SRX, Ford Freestyle and Edge, Mazda CX-7 and CX-9, and the GMT-900s.

As far as Rav4 and CRV, they were merely considered small utes, not crossovers.

Actually a true SUV is also a good off-road machine. This glowing report doesn't seem to address that, but with 20" wheels and a lot of fancy trim I would guess it may have problems on anything worse than a dirt road.

While i agree with you about what an SUV is, i saw a clip, i believe it was top gear, where they put a Cayenne on a rally stage with stock wheels and tires and it went through the stage quickly and with no problems. And it was a gravel track, but would still tear up plenty of other vehicles. Just thought it was impressive.

Srb I understand and respect you inexhaustible love/admiration for Nissan and Infiniti products, yet, it is absolutely rediculous to say that the Murano and FX started the crossover craze. I mostly have to agree with those who mention the RX, MDX, and also the M-Class. But the Murano and FX, just came out a couple of years ago and I don't think that their sales volume would draw anyone into saying that either of the CUV's have started any "craze". Of course they've added to the CUV craze with their stylish designs but to say they started it is just "shift_rediculous"
